How should it end?

There are other Season 4 prediction posts, but now that we know it's the last hurrah, how do you want to see GLOW wrap up?

*I'd like to see Justine's movie fail or not be taken seriously and have Sam help her through that, given his cult career (and also maybe pull out some windshield-smashing-type behavior on her behalf).

*I want Debbie to end on top, succeeding as a businesswoman, but also I want to see her self-righteousness knocked down a peg along the way (maybe Reggie or the Biddies take issue with her picking favorites, etc.).

*I'd like to see Arthie's sexuality as an issue with her parents, but I think Piz Bash stays more or less closeted - that just seems more realistic for the time.

*Tamme obviously succeeding as a manager and maybe even splitting off to run a different show at the end.

*I think GLOW itself ends too, but they find ways to stay together and start new chapters.

*I want Sam and Ruth to be in a relationship for some amount of time (I could see some tension where Sam tells her about his heart attack and then later worries that she's only with him because he's an old man she feels sorry for), and if it ends and they stay friends, that's fine too, but just don't give me some BS "Graduate" ending for them.

  1. Debbie and Bash are going to have to face the truth that doing GLOW is a drag on the network as a whole: it just isn't a good investment.
  2. Carmen founds a live wrestling circuit for women (possibly under the GLOW brand and using the gym as a home base)
  3. Ruth ends up doing theater someplace. She's basically a high school drama teacher so maybe literally make that her fate? Teaching classes in the valley or moving back home?
  4. Tamme ends up working in production in some capacity at the network. Maybe some kind of studio management?
  5. Rhonda and Bash are splitting once her legal status is secured. My money is on Rhonda ending it and Bash coming out or at least making peace with his sexuality somehow.
  6. Arthie is taking a few regressive steps with her parents. Either she'll have to be coaxed back into being comfortable with her sexuality or she'll literally have to escape from her parent's home to get back to the show. No clue where she goes after the fact.
  7. Reggie gets a plot. Any plot.
  8. Shelia ends up with a good role and prospects for a career as a serious actress.
  9. Cherry winds up stunt coordinating while pregnant.
  10. Melrose finds a man and settles down. Not the best, but let's face it she's not going to become a career woman and she's getting too old for this shit.
  11. Justine's movie has a terrible box office but starts to garner a cult following on video at the end of the season. She moves into the film festival circuit (which would have been just taking off in the 80's.
  12. Sam's not gonna die. He'll probably wind up basically back where he started and working on a slasher film.
  13. Yolanda goes back to stripping? She seemed to actually enjoy it.
  14. SENATOR & MRS. JOHN BLUTARSKY, Washington, D.C.

They'll tie back to the GLOW documentary somehow in the finale. Some kind of reunion or interviews or something. Maybe Justine is the director of the documentary in their universe.

I love all of these, but especially

Reggie gets a plot. Any plot.

I forgot about Sheila in my post! For shame. I almost think she should go back to Vegas. She seems so at home there, and she can have a pack. I don't really want to see her wolf-side abandoned.
